GBS Global Banking School

At GBS, we remain committed to creating impactful learning experiences for our students. On 27-28 March, we had the privilege of hosting key discussions on breastfeeding education and healthcare training, bringing together global experts, students, and faculty at our GEDU House - Stratford, London campus.

As part of our ongoing efforts to provide real-world exposure, students from our Health & Social Care courses engaged with delegates from Ireland, the UK, Belgium, and The Netherlands, exploring both the scientific and societal impact of the UNITAR Breastfeeding Education Initiative.

Opportunities like these reflect our dedication to shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals, and our commitment towards the welfare of our students.

GEDU Global Education and GBS Global Banking School were honoured to host the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Regional Conference on Breastfeeding Education on 27 March and Training of Trainers Workshop on 28 March.

UNITAR launched the Breastfeeding Education Initiative (BFEI) in March 2023 to address the critical need for high-quality, accessible breastfeeding education and training for healthcare professionals, community leaders, and mothers, as breastfeeding is a key factor in improving child health, as well as delivering wider benefits to society.

Delegates from Ireland, the UK, Belgium, and The Netherlands joined students and faculty from GBS’ Health and Social Care courses for a series of discussions throughout the day, spanning both the scientific and social impact of the initiative.

GBS Global Banking School has been successful at the Purpose Coalition’s Breaking Down Barriers Awards 2025, recognising outstanding contributions to breaking down barriers to opportunity.
